Thai girlfriends meet American strip clubs? \u00a0What a trip. We started at PT’s near St. Louis and ended at Cheetah’s in Las Vegas. \u00a0Last month our Thai we brought myThai girlfriend to three American strip clubs,\u00a0 the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas\u2019s gambling casinos.<\/p>\n

Two friends of mine had just married Thai women. We had all traveled together in Thailand and celebrated each other\u2019s birthdays in Pattaya\u2019s bars for the last couple of years. \u00a0One of the two American men had even bought a condo on my street where his future wife stayed. \u00a0While the couple waited out her American visa. This being the first time we could all meet together on American soil, it was only fitting that we should celebrate our reunion in America\u2019s strip clubs.<\/p>\n

Being from Illinois and St. Louis where I had spent most of my life, the main center of my past strip club activities was in the St. Louis Metro East. This was in Illinois within a few miles of St. Louis on the Missouri side of the Mississippi.<\/p>\n

It was the East side St. Louisans had been going to for years for night club entertainment and bars that stayed open all night. Whatever adult entertainment existed on the Missouri closed down at 1 a.m. along with all the other St. Louis bars while the clubs just across the river stayed open until 4 a.m. during the week and 6 a.m. on weekends.<\/p>\n

For those who still couldn\u2019t get enough drinking and partying in by 6 a.m. there were still other night clubs open until 8 a.m. where a lot of the strippers and employees of the topless clubs would hang out after their clubs closed.<\/p>\n

In all my years writing for adult magazines and shooting pictures of adult entertainers I had never encountered anything \u00a0like the St. Louis Metro East night clubs. \u00a0But lately<\/p>\n

a friend told me the clubs were now only a shadow of what they used to be. \u00a0And that most of the strippers had gotten butt ugly.<\/h3>\n

It was time to find out. \u00a0In the meantime I figured \u00a0the strip clubs would reflect what had happened to American women in recent years.<\/p>\n

Fast food, addiction to the internet and an unwillingness to exercise had spawned a new breed of American with men now averaging thirty pounds heavier than the typical World War II soldier<\/h3>\n

and women taking on 35 % more pork than those American women I had gone to college with in the 60’s. Lardy lardy, once I brought my Thai girlfriend to the United States we\u2019d discover that nine out of ten women were overweight.<\/p>\n

So what do I really mean by overweight?\u00a0 According to 2010 statistics I’ve skimmed off the Internet,<\/p>\n

the average American woman is slightly less than five foot four. \u00a0But she weighs 76 kilograms.\u00a0 That’s a jelly flopping 167 pounds while my over the hill 67 year old body weighs in at 165 pounds.<\/h3>\n

And I’m seven inches taller at five foot eleven.\u00a0 Tom’s wife, Nok, my girfriend, and the third Thai woman who’d be meeting us later on in Las Vegas weigh only half as much as what the average American woman has\u00a0 become.<\/p>\n

Nok and Big Tom took a room just down the hall from us after driving 240 miles from their Missouri home to join us at the St. Louis Metro East motel we were now staying at. Although we both had cars, Tom and I decided not to risk getting DWI\u2019 in the land of the American Gestapo. \u00a0So we split the cab fare and set off to what used to be two of the Metro East\u2019s top strip clubs.<\/p>\n

I used to get into these clubs free while writing for Xtreme Magazine.<\/em>\u00a0 Because I was a writer, \u00a0club management viewed me as someone who could get their organization a lot of positive publicity.<\/h3>\n

But times had changed. I had not been in either place for ten years since moving to Thailand. So we paid our cover charges which came out to fifteen dollars each, amounting to $30.00 for Tom and $30.00 for me since we had brought our Thai women along who were immediately asked to produce their ID\u2019s. We were then escorted to a table from which we could watch each dancer take her turn on the stage. I felt right at home.<\/p>\n

The overall atmosphere of the club was as friendly as it ever had been so I spent my first fifteen minutes talking to the club\u2019s bartenders and doormen about the club\u2019s managers and my favorite bartender, Larry, who had retired a few months before. Then I rejoined Tom and our two Thai women. By this time I had ordered a Bud Lite, which turned out to be on special for $6.50 while Tom wound up having to pay for a Budweiser Heavy for $8.50.<\/p>\n

But the club was not the same as before. Nearly every stripper was fat,<\/h3>\n

and by fat I don\u2019t mean just a little on the heavy side. In the entire club only two dancers resembled the strippers of ten years ago. One of the girls, the far prettier of the two came up to me and said, \u201cI haven\u2019t seen you in a long time\u201d as she gave me a big hug.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been living in Thailand for nine years now,\u201d I replied and I haven\u2019t been back here for ten years. Then I pointed at the two Thai women sitting with Tom. That\u2019s, Duean, my girlfriend over there.\u00a0 Nok, sitting next to her, just got married to Tom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou always told me you liked Asian women,\u201d the stripper replied.<\/p>\n

Then she strode off as my mind started to race back in time to where I might have met her before. I would have invited her to our table for a drink, but I still hadn\u2019t gotten my first beer as the service although friendly was slow.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe says she knows me,\u201d I told Tom. \u201cShe probably does. On the other hand, perhaps she\u2019s just angling for us to buy her drinks.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was like watching a bunch of cows lumbering around. Good God, how much the club\u2019s stable had changed through the years. But so had America.<\/h3>\n

As I suspected, the strip clubs would wind up reflecting how much the American female species had changed, and then the slender dancer who claimed to know me took her turn dancing on a stage directly in front of us.<\/p>\n

But only after the D.J. announced her by her stage name, \u201cChina Girl\u201d.<\/h3>\n

Suddenly I remembered her. She had been the prettiest girl at Club 64 in East St. Louis,<\/h3>\n

which had become my favorite drinking bar during my last two years living in the states. I had done a lot of photography of the girls working at Club 64. The club\u2019s owners would have their makeup and hair done for a couple of hours before I\u2019d shoot their pictures. I then enlarged the best pictures. \u00a0 Those that \u00a0the club owner\u2019s wife had picked.<\/p>\n

A photography studio enlarged the best pictures to measure 45 by 30 inches. \u00a0The owner and his wife mounted them on the front of the club so that they faced the highway. \u00a0Motorists could be view them \u00a0a quarter of a mile away. The frames were even back lighted. \u00a0It had been a terrific idea. \u00a0And since Club 64 was on the main road leading to three other strip clubs those \u00a0pictures played a big part in getting men to stop at Club 64 before hitting the other clubs.<\/p>\n

Club 64 was also charging just $3.00 a beer while the other clubs were charging $5.50. \u00a0When I mention the \u201cowners of Club 64″, I mean the owner and his wife, Sherry. Both were brilliant.<\/p>\n

It was Sherry and Frank who agreed to my bringing a white tiger club into Club 64 when probably no other club in the Metro East would have had the balls to allow it,<\/h3>\n

and with very good reason. Because if the Tiger club had bitten or clawed a customer, the club would have been sued. But Sherry and Frank were gamblers who played by their own rules. The husband wife team was hard working and neither stood for much nonsense. They also knew that forty pound white tiger cubs were really only pussy cats, and the white tiger I managed to get into the club got to be a very popular with the girls who took turns feeding it milk from a baby bottle.<\/p>\n

Of course China Girl would have remembered me. I never forgot her either. She had claimed to be of mixed blood. I remember her telling me she was part Japanese. I don\u2019t remember the other parts however. I\u2019m thinking black however.<\/p>\n

But whatever her genetic makeup she was the most beautiful girl at Club 64, and because of it she had always gotten a lot of attention from the club\u2019s customers. Which left little time for me because by the time we\u2019d be having a drink together a customer willing to pay her big money would come in and I\u2019d be left drinking with other girls or simply chatting with the bartender.<\/p>\n

I had nothing but great times in the United States in those days. Better times than any man in his fifties had a right to be.<\/h3>\n

My companions were more often women than male and the girls were usually in their twenties. They had fun loving personalities and back then their bodies were tight and trim. But times had changed. The average American woman although seven inches shorter than me, now outweighed me by several pounds.<\/p>\n

We walked across the parking lot to the second club. The fifteen dollar cover charge we had paid was good in all the St. Louis Metro East Clubs belonging to the same organization so one could hit five clubs on a single cover charge. But of the five, this second club, was the organization\u2019s show piece.<\/p>\n

Ten years ago the best looking women in all the area\u2019s strip clubs were working there and dinners in the club\u2019s restaurant rivaled the best restaurants the St. Louis area had to offer.<\/h3>\n

But in those days I had preferred the sister club next door. For one thing one night a week the sister club had dollar beers, and back in those days strip clubs were the same as pubs and neighborhood bars to me.<\/p>\n

In my last years living in the U.S. I never bothered to go to regular bars anymore. They bored me. And I sure knew where to go and when in the St. Louis Metro East Strip Clubs all of which were no more than fifteen minutes from my apartment. I could go to one club for its Monday night dollar beers and never have to pay a cover charge. On Wednesday nights one of its sister clubs had two dollar drink nights when I could get beer, whiskey or vodka for just two bucks, and then there was Club 64 where I could drink beers all night long for just $3.00 a bottle.<\/p>\n

Why would I want to go anywhere else?<\/p>\n

Back in those days I was writing two articles a month for adult magazines and there were a lot of strippers who wanted the publicity of being in a magazine.<\/h3>\n

Needless to say, American strippers paid a lot of attention to me.<\/p>\n

Looking back on it I was even having more fun in the U.S. than I\u2019m presently having in Thailand. The difference is here in Thailand you always have to pay for women, and most Thai women measure you by how much money you have and how much you are willing to give them.<\/p>\n

But in the U.S. strippers judged me on \u00a0how good an article I could write about them in a magazine. \u00a0Or well I photographed them, \u00a0or how much fun I was to be with. \u00a0And since most men couldn\u2019t get the pictures I could get or write like I could, I\u2019d rank pretty high up on the yardstick even though I was getting up into my fifties when most men were already being viewed as old codgers.<\/p>\n

But before I finished my first beer in this second club \u00a0reality sunk in \u00a0And it wasn\u2019t because I was no longer in my fifties but well into my sixties. The whole country had turned into a land of porkies in the last ten years. And I had not really changed very much.<\/p>\n

I felt like Gulliver must have felt (in Gullivers Travels<\/em>). For those who have read this three hundred year old work by Jonathon Swift, in the first part of the book, Gulliver winds up being a giant in the land of the Lilliputians. Now I felt like Swift\u2019s character would have felt upon finding himself in a land of giants while visiting Brobdingnag.<\/p>\n

Nearly every stripper in this club was huge so there was no change from the first club.<\/h3>\n

The strippers were friendly enough, however, with several of them stopping at our table to chat with us. They would have anyway, because just as it would have been in Thailand, the girls would be wanting us to buy them drinks. But several of them lusted after the two Thai women. \u00a0And I knew all too well that a large percentage of American strippers were either bisexual or lesbians.<\/p>\n

A week later, Tom and Nok would fly out to Las Vegas to be with us once again. My girlfriend and I had flown instead to Denver. \u00a0Where we had rented a car so I could show off some of the best scenery America had to offer. Another friend of ours also flew to Las Vegas to join us. Like Tom he had also married a Thai woman who was also a friend of both my girlfriend and Nok. We all decided to go to at least one Las Vegas strip club.<\/p>\n

From his room at the Luxor, Tom \u00a0started to look up Las Vegas Strip Clubs. The first club we looked into was Hustler, but the beers there would be fifteen dollars each, and the reviews of the place were not all that good.<\/p>\n

I wanted to go to Cheetah\u2019s. For one thing Hollywood filmed \u00a0\u201cShowgirls\u201d there. \u00a0 So Cheetah fascinated me long before I actually got to experience it first hand.<\/h3>\n

The first time I went into Cheetahs I had gone in with a small group who were attending the Exotic Dancer\u2019s annual convention with me. We had spent perhaps an hour there. \u00a0The next year I went to Cheetah\u2019s with one of the guys from the convention. \u00a0We spent the entire night there drinking and cavorting with two of the club\u2019s strippers in the VIP room. Then we left the darkness of the club in broad daylight the next morning. \u00a0 With the bright Nevada sun practically blinding us as we walked outside.<\/p>\n

Cheetah\u2019s would have a taxi pick us up at the Luxor but we\u2019d have to pay the driver $30.00 and we\u2019d still have to get another taxi to take us back to the Luxor. Which we willingly paid. The drive took much longer than I thought or that I ever remembered. Cheetah\u2019s was most certainly not downtown or anywhere near downtown. \u00a0And \u00a0now that I think about it, none of the other Las Vegas clubs that I\u2019d visited were either. Which I find rather typical of America\u2019s mindset.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to gamble away money that you can\u2019t afford to lose, but it\u2019s not okay to go to strip clubs to look at naked women.<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately the strippers at Cheetahs were as unattractive as \u00a0the dancers in the \u00a0two St. Louis Metro East Clubs. All the strippers were horrendously fat except for one. This single exception was of Afro American descent. She never came to our table so I only saw her from a distance but she had a nice slender sexy body, but from what I could detect her face was all angles giving her a rather harsh appearance. Several of the other girls would stop by our table to ask us where we had all come from and whether we were enjoying our evening or not.<\/p>\n

The overall friendliness of Cheetah\u2019s was just what I had remembered from the past. But the women had changed just as much as American women outside the clubs had changed. America had become a land of fat, lardy people. Especially the women.<\/p>\n

We had to take another taxi back to the hotel but this one cost us fifty dollars. \u00a0We could have gone to Club Sapphires where there would have been a two drink minimum at fifteen dollars each.<\/p>\n

\u00a0After deciding to cut our losses, we went back to the Luxor to have our last drinks there. Perhaps Sapphires, where I had once shot special performances of the Pure Talent Feature entertainers.<\/h3>\n

Perhaps I’d find a better stable of dancers to oogle, but why take the chance? We had already sampled three clubs, two in the Saint Louis Metro East and one at Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

I had seen enough to decide that American women would never be the same again. My girlfriend and I drove to the Grand Canyon, to the\u00a0\u00a0Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings to the mountains of Southwestern Colorado. \u00a0Then we went back to Denver via Grand Junction through Glenwood Canyon, searching for a different kind of scenery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Soon after its publication he started up his alphapro web site and took the plunge into digital photography while when it was in its infancy. He then started writing for adult magazines while branching out into professional photography to augment his articles. He is perhaps best known for his Xtreme Weapons articles for Xtreme Magazine, his coverage of major adult entertainment events, and his interviews of famous feature entertainers. By the time he bought his beach front condo in Thailand, he had written over 100 articles for four adult magazines while shooting over 100,000 pictures of adult entertainers and key adult industry events. His experiences on his condo committee while dealing with a Second World culture provided the inspiration for \"Welcome to the Fun House\". Within a month after publishing \"Welcome to the Fun House, Jack published his 2nd edition of \"Death on the Wild Side\" which contains completely new pictures inside the novel along completely revamped front and back covers.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.alphapro.com"]}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2dfXw-g6","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":876,"url":"https:\/\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/2014\/03\/31\/platinum-strip-club\/","url_meta":{"origin":998,"position":0},"title":"Platinum strip club video from St. Louis Metro East","author":"Jack Corbett","date":"March 31, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"This Platinum strip club video from the St. Louis Metro East shows off the topless dancers and lap dance action from this PT's favorite.
